My first impression at check in was not very pleasant. When I arrived at the location, a guard asked me to get on a golf buggy which preceded to take me to an underground car park and upon arrival I was asked by a security person to fill out a registration form. Then the person requested to take a photo of my passport. As you can imagine, this was very disconcerting and I wondered why this was not taking place in the lobby area. None of this was described in the check in procedure so don’t be too alarmed if this should happen to you.
Right, the apartment itself is very nice indeed. Chonny is very hospitable by providing complimentary water and an assortment of sachets coffee and teas. There are also shampoo and shower gel provided and it was nice just to drop my bags and get a shower upon arrival. The apartment is fully equipped for light cooking and washing. The internet was a stable 45Mbps ideal for some of our work. There is a 7/11 outside the entrance which is really useful. There is a nice swimming pool but the gym is something special. It’s the best equipped gym I’ve seen in Bangkok and I’ve stayed in a few places already.
The area is very quiet, with a nice bar/restaurant onsite. The main shopping centre Emporium is about a 7 minute walk away, where you will pass various massage shops, coffee shops and restaurants along the way. There is a complimentary shuttle bus you could use. Overall, a really nice place to stay. Recommended.
